Title: another audiobum
Post by: audiobum on July 30, 2021, 02:49:56 PM

Hi All,
I like stereos, mostly old stuff like Marantz, MacIntosh receivers, older and newer Polk Audio speakers, and sweet turntables. Also, I know some will laugh.. but I like graphic Equalizers and I have a Garrad EQ 360. The EQ is mostly for aesthetics.  I currently have a Marantz 2238B in Excellent to Mint condition, a Denon DP-300F a variety of speakers (which I keep changing), I'm looking for a new subwoofer, maybe a SVS SB series (not sure which size yet, probably a smaller 1 or 2000?). I am also trying to figure out if I want to build a new stand out of iron pipe and wood. That's what's up for now.

Welcome.   EQ serves a purpose and sometimes they have very cool displays on them.

Welcome to the forum.  To what kind of music do you listen?

Welcome! You got some nice stuff there. I've made two stands using 1/2" threaded rod. One was MDF with a veneer,  the newer rack I used oak flooring in a butcher block style. Pics are on the site here somewhere. Someday I may upgrade the 1/2" rod with 1" for a little more rigidity.
